These weren't to bad to fix:
Bug#552341: python-vtk: Suggest mayavi2 instead of removed mayavi
Bug#552343: vtk-doc: Remove md5 doxygen generated files
Bug#552352: libvtk5.2: Please turn VTK_X3D_USE_JAVA option ON
Bug#552353: libvtk5-dev: vtkEncodeString is not packaged
Bug#552354: libvtk5.2: Please turn option VTK_USE_BOOST on
Bug#552357: libvtk5.2: Please turn option VTK_USE_MPI to ON
Bug#552359: libvtk5.2: Please turn option VTK_USE_MYSQL to ON

Perhaps my patch for the new FFMPEG swscale API can make it upstream...
Bug#552356: libvtk5.2: Please turn VTK_USE_FFMPEG_ENCODER option ON
Some testing is in order. I haven't done any.

This will likely be tagged wontfix:
Bug#552358: libvtk5.2: It would be nice to have VTK_USE_CG_SHADERS:ON
...there is also VTK_USE_GLSL_SHADERS.
I don't know the plans for GLSL in Debian, osgppu isn't in the archive yet.

I pulled a fix for gl2ps out of Kitware CVS (Thanks: Mathieu Malaterre):
(ENH: Add new option: VTK_USE_SYSTEM_GL2PS, to be able to use a system 
installed gl2ps library.)
Bug#552363: libvtk5.2: Need to use system gl2ps library instead of convenient 
copy

There doesn't seem to be similar configurability for these:
Bug#552348: libvtk5.2: Need to use system sqlite instead of convenient copy 
vtksqlite
Bug#552349: libvtk5.2: Use system libftgl instead of convenient copy
Bug#552350: libvtk5.2: Should use system netcdf
Similar need applies to libproj, need to use Debian libproj-dev and libproj0.

I'll be happy to pull fixes for Bug#552348, Bug#552348, Bug#552348 from
Kitware CVS if they show up there. Or, feel free to submit patches on
the Debian bugs. Otherwise I'll try to get to them myself Real Soon Now.


My efforts toward a vtk 5.4.2 upload are on the master branch, see
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/vtk.git;a=summary
I notice there is also:
http://github.com/Kitware/VTK

Thanks for your interest in Debian VTK packages,
